Who is Jesus? | His Message and His Mission (Mark 1:12-20)

As the title indicates, we talk about Jesus' primary message and mission on earth. His message was: The kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe the gospel. His mission was to build that kingdom through followers who are fishers of men. We are called to respond to His message by turning from sin and trusting in Jesus. We are called to respond to His mission by following Jesus and telling others about Him.

Not "By" Works, But "For" Works (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Inspired by this year's VBS theme verse, we'll then look at Ephesians 2:8-10 to talk about the relationship between salvation and good works. We are not saved "by" good works, but "by" God's grace and through faith in Jesus Christ.
Yet, we are saved "for" good works that God has prepared ahead of time for us to do for His glory.

Loving God's Word (Psalm 119:97-112)

Do you love the Bible? That might sound like a strange question, but God calls His people to love His Word. We discover that loving God's Word impacts our thinking, changes how we live, informs what we commit to do, and it transforms our hearts.
In other words, loving God's Word is how we "...love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength" (Mark 12:30).

The Sufficiency of Scripture (Psalm 119:17-32)

Pastor Tom continues our new series: Summer Reading with the Word: A Study of Psalm 119. We look at Psalm 119:17-32 and learn how the Scriptures are sufficient for everything pertaining to life and godliness. They are sufficient to bring us to worship God and to provide comfort to us in difficult times.
What does it mean that the Bible is sufficient?

Do I view the Bible this way?

Jesus is Better - Amen! (Hebrews 13:18-25)

We finish our study through the Book of Hebrews by looking at Hebrews 13:18-25. Throughout the book, we have been discovering how Jesus is better than anything and anyone we could compare Him to. Since Jesus is better, that means that we are dependent on Him. We need to call out to Him in prayer for the help we need to live for our Lord.
How does the truth that “Jesus is Better” make a difference in your life?

John 5:1-17

This past Sunday, Pastor Tom encouraged us from John 5:1-17 with a message on how Jesus cleanses us and saves us from sin.
As you prepare for the message, ask yourself, “Do we want to be healed, do you want to be free from your sins? Who is Jesus that He can free us from such a power? What is He doing today?”

Jesus Is Better Than Self-Love (Hebrews 13:1-6)

In this sermon we move into the practical application part of the Book of Hebrews in Hebrews 13:1-6. This passage will challenge us with the truth that worshiping Jesus means living a life that is others-focused, rather than self-focused.
Does selfishness have a place in the Christian life? Why or why not? What should a Christian life look like?
